ON THE SOURCES OF THE PARKER COLLECTION

OF MANUSCRIPTS AT CORPUS CHRISTI

COLLEGE.

HISTORIANS, palaeographers, and archaeologists, will all
agree that it is very important to determine the places in
which ancient books were written or preserved. If we can
trace the career of a manuscript from the scriptorium where
it took shape to the library shelf on which it rests to-day, we
may find that its history will throw light on the most un-
expected matters. It may shew us the origin of a school of
handwriting: it may explain the genesis of a type of text:
or it may account for the presence of a particular element
in the works of a famous writer. Some of the notable results
gained by study of the history of individual manuscripts will
appear as I proceed. They are probably sufficient to justify
the rash attempt I have made to determine the original
homes of the books comprising that famous collection, the
Parker MSS. at Corpus Christi College. I say that my attempt
is rash, because it is not to be expected that any one person
should be capable of seizing upon and rightly appreciating all
the indications which are significant and might be made to
yield the information we seek. Still, it so happens that a
very considerable proportion of the books in Archbishop
Parker's collection can be assigned to their ancient homes
with certainty, or with great probability; and, for the rest,
I have noted such indications as may in the future enable
myself, or other searchers in the same field, to fill up the gaps
I have been forced to leave.

C. A. S. -Octavo Series. 1

2 CORPUS CHRISTI MSS.

Several reasons have contributed to induce me to under-
take this piece of work. Perhaps the most cogent is to be
found in the kindness of Mr C. W. Moule, Librarian of the
College, who made it possible for me to take every single
volume, from no. 1 to no. 482, off the shelves, and examine
it for traces of its provenance. And besides that, I am very
anxious to set the example of treating a collection of MSS.
in this particular way. At present the only considerable
attempt in this direction with which I am acquainted is the
list of provenances of MSS. given by the Rev. W. D. Macray
in his Annals of the Bodleian Library : a list which though
necessarily incomplete, is invaluable to the searcher after
remains of our ancient libraries.

But, indeed, every one of the older collections of manu-
scripts in England ought to be analysed from the point of
view of the provenance of its component parts. If we wish,
as I imagine we do wish, to gain a clear and complete notion
of the intellectual life of monastic England, we must know
what books were in the hands of the monks in the various
great centres of learning. And it will be just as instructive
to ascertain what sort of libraries the smaller abbeys or
priories possessed, as it is to study the books belonging to
the larger communities. To attain this end we must have a
Corpus of monastic catalogues : we must print and analyse
the Catalogus 8&*iptorum of Boston of Bury, and the probably
earlier Tabula septem custodiarum : and we must also go
through the old stores, such as the Cottonian, Royal, Harleian,
Arundel, and Bodley MSS., and the College Libraries at
Cambridge and Oxford, examining every volume and noting
press-marks, names of mediaeval and sixteenth century owners,
and the opening words of the second leaf. It is, no doubt, a
big piece of work : but my own slight experience has taught
me that it is preeminently interesting — even exciting — and
that all manner of pleasant discoveries, great and small, await
him who is bold enough to embark upon it.

To come from the general to the particular; I have to
explain the methods I have myself employed in examining

CORPUS CHRISTI MSS. 3

the Parker MSS., and to gather up some of the results that
I have obtained.

It must be stated at once that a very great deal of the
material for identification has been irrecoverably lost. Nearly
all the MSS. were rebound at the end of the last century,
and with that rebinding away went all the evidence that
might have been gleaned from old bindings, fly-leaves, or
fragments of writing in the covers. The Parker Collection
is not the only one in Cambridge which has suffered in this
way. At Peterhouse, and at the University Library, equal
havoc has been wrought in the past : but the loss is the more to
be deplored in the case before us in view of the higher average
value of the books concerned.

Not all, again, of my results are new. Nasmyth in his
Catalogue notes the source of many of the MSS. : but the
examination of a large number of MSS. in many libraries has
furnished me with more material for identifying the books
belonging to different monasteries than he had at his command.

In forming the list of manuscripts subjoined to this dis-
course, my principle of procedure has been as follows. I have
not given a list of the contents of each MS., but only a short
title : and I have uniformly noted the first words of the second
leaf (called the dictio probatoria). The reason for this is, that
in most monastic catalogues this detail appears : and thus
volumes which I have failed to trace to their old homes may
be identified in the future by means of such catalogues. Where
Parker has bound up two or three complete MSS. together,
I have noted the first words of the second leaf of each.
Furthermore, I have not included in my survey the late paper
MSS., of which there are so many in the Library. They are
mostly collections of letters and statutes, or late treatises.
Naturally these were never in monastic libraries at all. Nor
do I notice the Wycliffi te MSS. : for these were chiefly (though
not in all cases) circulated among seculars.

Now among the Parker MSS. are some scanty relics of a
collection previously possessed by Corpus Christi College. In
1439 Thomas Markaunt, Fellow, bequeathed to the College

1—2

4 CORPUS CHRISTI MSS.

a library of 76 (75) volumes, which for upwards of a century
were preserved with great care, under special conditions. A
full Catalogue of these remains: it is no. 232 in Nasmyth.
It has been already printed once for this Society, by Mr
J. O. Halliwell in 1848 : but I have thought it well to reprint
it here. For, in his prefatory note, the last editor says, " It may
be mentioned that in the original manuscript the incipits of the
second and of the penultimate folios are given, but it has not
been considered necessary to copy them." Much might be said
about the wisdom of this remark ; but I will omit any criticisms
and merely say that I have copied the incipits in question, so
that by their help we may be able to identify any of Markaunt's
books which may be lurking in Cambridge or elsewhere.

At present only three of the 75 volumes, exclusive of the
Catalogue, have presented themselves. Two are at Corpus
Christi, and the third in the Registry. And here let me say
a few words about the disappearance of the old libraries of
Cambridge. We have in print catalogues of the old Libraries
at Corpus Christi, Trinity Hall, King's, Queens', St Catherine's,
and the University. At the present moment 19 of the Uni-
versity Library books are known to exist out of 330. At
Corpus Christi, as I have said, 3 out of 75; at Queens', I
believe, none; at King's, 1 out of 176; at Trinity Hall, 1; at
St Catherine's none out of about 100. It is clear, also, from
Leland's Collectanea that Clare College possessed in his time
a large number of books, of which there is no trace now.
Very similar is the case of Duke Humphrey's collection of
600 volumes, which he presented to the University of Oxford.
Three of these volumes now remain in the Bodleian, and
possibly a dozen may be in existence in other libraries. What
does it all mean ? Who is responsible for the wholesale
destruction which these facts imply ? I am afraid the answer
is only too clear. We have to thank the Commissioners
appointed under Edward VI. to reform the Universities. Some-
thing of their methods of procedure may be learnt from
Mr Macray's Annals of the Bodleian Library. More can be
inferred from the facts I have been citing.

CORPUS CHRISTI MSS. 5

I must turn now to the general results of the investigation
of the Corpus Christi MSS. Out of the 482 volumes cata-
logued by Nasmyth it is possible to say something about the
origin of nearly 200 : further, we can set aside close upon
100 books as being late documents or Oriental MSS. So that
about 180 of the vellum MSS. remain at present unassigned to
any ancient monastic or private owner.

The largest contributors to the collection are the two
Canterbury libraries — of Christ Church Priory and St Augus-
tine's Abbey. I assign 47 volumes to the former and 26 to
the latter. Next come — Norwich Priory with 18 volumes,
Worcester with 9, Bury with a possible 7, Dover with 6,
Exeter with 5 : no other monastery contributes more than 4.

Let us take the Canterbury books first, and of them the
contingent from Christ Church Priory. They include some
of the most interesting in the library. As famous as any is
the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle (No. 173) which, though it has
lost its fly-leaves and class-mark, is on the strength of internal
evidence unanimously allowed to be a Christ Church book ;
and indeed can be identified almost with certainty in the
fourteenth century catalogue of the Christ Church Library. A
new discovery, — the best, perhaps, that I have to show, — is
this : No. 46, which contains the Polycraticus and Metalogicon
of John of Salisbury, is the very copy which the author
presented to St Thomas a Becket, to whom the former of the
two treatises is dedicated. On the fly-leaf of this MS. is an
inscription, erased but still legible, to the effect that it
belonged to St Thomas, and the class-mark in the MS.
corresponds accurately with the class-mark assigned in the
old Christ Church catalogue to a copy of the two works
bequeathed by St Thomas to the Priory. One result of this
discovery is that the Corpus Christi MS. must be regarded in
future as a primary authority for the text of the books it
contains.

Another volume which belonged to an important personage
is No. 76. It contains a copy of Radulphus de Diceto, and on
the fly-leaf is written Annales Stephani Archiepiscopi. The

6 CORPUS CHRISTI MSS.

owner was Stephen Langton : and like the one last-mentioned
the volume is clearly identifiable in the old catalogue. To
Canterbury again we can now assign the very handsome
Psalter of the French Count Achadeus, written in 884 (No.
272), which is usually to be seen in a show-case in the College
Library. The fly-leaves of this book are fragments of account-
rolls wherein occur the names of several Kentish villages
belonging as I believe to Christ Church.

Again, the Juvencus in uncials (No. 304) must, I have
little doubt, be the volume described in an old fragment
of a Christ Church catalogue as 'Juvencus in Romana scrip-
tura.' This fragmentary catalogue is contained in a MS. in
the University Library (li. 3. 12). It belongs to the end of
the twelfth century, and has been printed, minus the class-
marks annexed to each title, by Mr J. Bass Mullinger, in his
History of the University (I. p. 102).

Let us look next at the contingent from St Augustine's
Abbey. It is smaller, but it is extremely interesting ; for it
includes the uncial Latin Gospels with paintings which, if any,
may be called Gregorian. This is numbered 286.

At this point let me digress. There is another fragment of
a gospel-book in Celtic hand (No. 197) which used -also to be
called a Gregorian book. It gives no indication at present
of any former habitat But Bishop Tanner (Bibliotheca Bri-
tannica, s.v. Fcelix) speaks of it as having been the property
of St Felix the Burgundian, the Apostle of East Anglia. His
words are : " as to the Book of the Gospels, now in the library
of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, and formerly in the
possession of the monks of Eye, see Leland, Collectanea, iii. 24."
The book of which Tanner speaks must be one of the two
"Gregorian" MSS., and he cannot, I imagine, have been unaware
of the fact that No. 286 contains documents which prove
indisputably that it belonged to St Augustine's, for Hickes
and Wanley had printed them before he wrote.

We must next consult Leland. In the place mentioned by
Tanner we read as follows:

CORPUS CHRISTI MSS.

Monachi Eyenses olim habebant
coenobiolum apud Dunwic, oppidum
maritimum antiquitiis Dunmoc dic-
tum et civitatis nomine insigne, in
quo Felix Orientalium Anglorum
episcopus sedern habuit. Sed post-
quam alio sedes traducta fuit, vete-
rem occupabant monachi. Nunc
vero ccenobiolum (ut plura ibidem
alia) a mare devoratum est. Eyenses
adhuc servant Evangeliorum librum,
relliquias exhausti coenobioli; et a
vulgo ruber liber de Eya vocatur,
per quern apud vulgus solenne est
iurare. Monachi constanter adfir-
mant librum fuisse Felicis, et certe
verisimile est. Nam praeterquam
quod sit scriptus litteris maiusculis
Longobardicis, refert vetustatem
mire venerandam.

The monks of Eye once had a
cell at Dunwich, a town on the coast
anciently called Dunmoc and dis-
tinguished by the name of city
where Felix, Bishop of the East
Angles, had his see. But when the
see was transferred elsewhither, the
old site was occupied by monks.
Now, however,the cell (together with
much else (or many others) in the
place) has been swallowed up by the
sea. The monks of Eye still preserve
a Book of the Gospels, a relic of
their ruined cell. It is popularly
called the Red Book of Eye, and
the people are wont to swear by
it. The monks constantly affirm
that it was Felix's book; and cer-
tainly that seems likely enough, for
besides the fact that it is written in
large (or capital) Lombardic letters,
it has an appearance of wonderful
great antiquity.

Leland, then, saw at Eye Priory a gospel book in "Lorn-
bardic " characters, known as the Red Book of Eye, which was
believed to have belonged to St Felix, and had been brought
from Dunwich. Now, by "Lombardic" letters we may be
confident that Leland did not mean uncials. These he would
be apt to call "Roman writing." He might on the other
hand very well mean such a Celtic hand as our MS. (no. 197)
is written in, — a hand which would not be so familiar to him,
and which he would be likely to describe by a somewhat
unusual word.

Have we, then, in this fragment a relic, or what was long
thought to be a relic, of St Felix ? The question deserves to
be looked into. Tanner most unfortunately does not give any
of the reasons which led him to speak as if the attribution of
our MS. to St Felix were a well-known fact. That he does so
speak of it you have heard: and I should be very glad to
accept his statement if I could. Only I am afraid there is

8 CORPUS CHRISTI MSS.

some evidence against his view. I have heard on very good
authority that the Red Book of Eye which Leland saw was
in possession of the municipal authorities of that town until
quite recent times ; and that, well within this century, perhaps
even in this generation, it had been (by other hands, not those
of the corporation) cut up for game-labels ! Whether this last
detail be true or not, it is obvious that the story cannot be
reconciled with Tanner's assertion that the book or part of it
was among the Parker MSS.

Further, there is a rival tradition as to the provenance of
no. 197. In it is an inscription (by Parker) stating that it was
one of the books sent by Gregory to Augustine and "lately
thus mutilated." Moreover, it was generally held that a
volume in the Cottonian collection (Otho, C. v), now destroyed,
was a part of this same book. It contained the Gospels of
Matthew and Mark, and this has parts of Luke and John.
The Cottonian MS. was traditionally said to be a Gregorian
book. It could not, of course, have been sent from Rome, for
it is of Celtic origin : but the tradition of the Canterbury
provenance may be a true one. In any case the modern story
from Eye, coupled with this Canterbury tradition, stands in
the way of our identifying the Corpus MS. no. 197 with the
Gospels of St Felix.

A possible explanation of Tanner's assertion has occurred
to me. It is conceivable that he has confused the Red Book
of Eye with the Red Book of the Peak in Derbyshire. This
latter is certainly at Corpus Christi. As was the case with the
Book of Eye, people were wont to swear by it: indeed the
belief was that whoever swore falsely upon it would run mad.
It is true that the Derbyshire book is not a book of the
Gospels, and that the mistake would be rather a careless one
for Tanner : but I feel that it is a very possible one.

But one word more. Supposing that in spite of the ob-
jections adduced above, it should hereafter transpire that
Tanner was right, and that no. 197 is the Red Book of Eye,
or a fragment of it, it may be asked how it could have come
about that a specimen of Celtic art such as this is should be

CORPUS CHRISTI MSS. 9

found at Dunwich ia Suffolk. As it happens, we can point to
the presence of one rather famous Irishman in that part of
the world and near the date of St Felix. I mean the seer of
whom Bede tells us so much, St Fursey. And where there
was one of that nation there may very well have been more.

We return to the books from S. Augustine's, meaning to
digress again very soon. The handsome MS. of Homer (no. 81),
written late in the fifteenth century, has a long note in it
in Archbishop Parker's hand, to the effect that he found it in
possession of a baker at Canterbury, who said that it came
from St Augustine's Abbey. I take leave to doubt whether
the baker was right, for I do not find, at St Augustine's, traces
of Greek learning in anything like the same degree as at Christ
Church. At the latter place Prior William Sellyng had a
notable collection of Greek (and Latin) books which he had
brought from Italy : and the baker may very easily have been
mistaken as to which of the two Canterbury monasteries his
Homer had come from.

To proceed. The Homer has on its title page, among other
ornaments, the name ©EOAHPOX in gold capitals on a
blue ground, surrounded by a laurel wreath. Hence Parker
concluded that it had belonged to the famous Archbishop
Theodore, at the end of the seventh century. Nay, more,
taking, I imagine, this particular MS. as his standard, he has
written in several other Greek MSS. an inscription to the
same effect. A xiiith century Psalter (no. 480), and a xvth
century Euripides on paper (no. 403) at Corpus Christi, and a
xivth or xvth century Psalter at Trinity College, are thus
equipped, and, more astonishing still, a xvth century Cicero
written in Italy in a Roman hand (no. 158) is assigned to
Archbishop Theodore. This is sad work. The only value of
these ridiculous inscriptions lies in the fact that they show
pretty clearly that the books containing them must have come
from Canterbury. And we cannot be far wrong in attributing
their presence there to the influence of the scholar and
humanist already mentioned — William Sellyng — whose real
name seems to have been Tilley, Selling being merely the

10 CORPUS CHRISTI M8S.

name of the Kentish village from which he came. The
volumes I have mentioned are, I expect, nearly all waifs and
strays from the Library he collected in Italy. The bulk of it
perished, as is well known, in an accidental fire on the occasion
of Dr Leigh ton's visit to the priory of Christ Church.

The subject of Greek learning in the middle ages is always
interesting, and there is another book at Corpus Christi which
has a bearing thereupon. This is a Psalter of the xiiith cen-
tury (no. 468) in which the Latin and Greek versions — both in
Latin letters — are written in parallel columns. The fly-leaf is
inscribed Psalterium Grecum Gregorii. At first sight this looks
like an attribution to Pope Gregory : but that is not so. An
examination of the Kalendar prefixed to the text shows that
the book belonged to a monastery where a great deal of honour
was paid to St Yvo. That monastery must be Ramsey. We
have a Catalogue of the Ramsey library (Chronicon Abbatiae
Rameseiensis, Rolls Series), and in it, under the heading of
Libri Gregorii Priori*, the entry Psalteriwm Grecum occurs
twice over.

It is worth noticing that this same Abbey was remarkable
for the number of Hebrew books it possessed. The Catalogue
enumerates nearly all the books of the Old Testament in
Hebrew.

The account of their acquisition, given by the faithful
Leland (Comm. de scriptt. Britt. s.v. Gregorius Venantodunensis),
is interesting. It was in the reign of Edward I., he says, when
the Jews were expelled, the synagogues desecrated, and their
belongings sold. At Huntingdon and Stamford their books
were put up to auction. Gregory of Huntingdon (this same
Prior Gregory who owned the Greek Psalter) hurried to the
spot and secured all the books he could. He was not the only
Ramsey man who profited by the sale. The Abbey Catalogue
shows us that a monk, Robert Dodeford, also possessed many
Hebrew books. This was in the xiiith century. Early in the
xvth Ramsey produced a scholar, Laurence Holbeach, who
devoted himself to the study of Prior Gregory's books, and to
such good purpose that he was able to compile a Hebrew

CORPUS CHRISTI MSS. 11

dictionary. The fate of this work is obscure. It was taken
away from Ramsey by the "excessive diligence" of Robert
Wake field, whom Leland briefly, but no doubt adequately,
describes as a polypus. As a matter of fact, he was a Cam-
bridge man who became Professor of Hebrew at Oxford, while
his younger brother Thomas was the first Hebrew Professor
here. Robert seems to have produced a Chaldee Lexicon1, but
not a Hebrew one.

The last I need notice of the St Augustine's books at
Corpus Christi are two handsome volumes of the Speculum
Historiale of Vincent "of Beauvais" (nos. 13, 14), given to the
Abbey in the xivth century by Abbot Thomas (Findon or
Poucyn). They are the second and third volumes of a set of
four : and they afford a good example of the useful or at least
satisfactory results of a systematic exploration of collections of
MSS., for 1 have found the first volume of the same set at
St John's College. The fourth has not yet turned up. I will
add — for it is germane to the subject — that St John's possesses
the second volume of a Josephus of the xiith century, from
Christ Church, Canterbury — a splendid book. I find the first
volume in the University Library. And again, I find, also at
St John's, two MSS. once the property of Peterhouse, but
given to their present owners as long ago as the reign of
Charles I. They are two copies of Quintilian, and are among
the books which I most regretted to find missing from the
Peterhouse Library.

The next Library which I shall mention is that of a
monastery intimately connected with Christ Church, Can-
terbury, namely, Dover Priory, which was a cell to that great
house. It had a very good collection of books, whereof the
catalogue, made at the end of the xivth century, exists in the
Bodleian (Bodl. 920) and has been transcribed for me. Six
volumes at Corpus Christi are from Dover: the best is a
magnificent Bible in two volumes, written in the xiith century
(nos. 3, 4). I have also ascertained that the famous Irish
Psalter at St John's was once at Dover Priory.

1 This with other oriental MSS. was (retributively) stolen from his house at
Moorgate by Robert Collier, a Carthusian monk. So says Tanner.

12 CORPUS CHRISTI MSS.

Of the five books from Exeter, four were probably among
those given by Bishop Leofric to his cathedral in the xith
century. Others are at Trinity College, in the University
Library, and at the Bodleian. The most famous of them all,
which still remains at Exeter, is the collection of Anglo-Saxon
poetry, newly edited by Mr Gollancz, and known as the
Exeter Book.

Leofric's gifts of books amounted in all to something over
fifty volumes. The list of them in Anglo-Saxon was first
printed by Wanley (in Hickes's Thesaurus, II. 80). Twelve of
these exist, to my knowledge, and there are several others, e.g.
the Bede at Corpus Christi (no. 41), which are not to be
found in the old list

A small list of ancient English books occurs in an xith
century MS. at Corpus Christi (no. 367) which seems to come
from Worcester. I do not find that it has been noticed. It
consists of an English Passional, two "Dialogues" (ie. copies
of Gregory's Dialogi) in English, an "oddan boc," a Marty rology,
two Psalters, two "Pastorals" (i.e. Gregory, De cura Pastorali),
the Rule (of St Benedict), and a Barontus, that is, the Vision
of St Barontus of Pistoia, a sixth century book which was very
popular in early mediaeval times.

Norwich — the Cathedral Priory, at least — contributes pro-
bably 18 books. Some of these were gifts of Adam Easton,
afterwards Bishop, and Cardinal of St Cecilia. He died in
Italy, and sent home five barrels of books which he had
collected there. Those which bear his name at Corpus Christi
were not of this number: they were written and presented
while he was still a monk. Two others of the Norwich books
belonged to Simon Bozoun, Prior. Curiously enough, we have
a list of his private Library in a MS. in the British Museum.
It consisted of 31 volumes, four of which are now known to
exist.

The Norwich library was a very large one. Bale possessed
the old Register of it, of which Wanley speaks as if he himself
had seen it. Unfortunately he was mistaken. He had confused
it with the catalogue of Ramsey Abbey. Probably the majority
of the extant Norwich books are in the University Library,

CORPUS CHRISTI MSS. 13

whither they came by the instrumentality of Dean Gardiner in
the sixteenth century, and of Bishop Moore in the eighteenth.
At Norwich itself I only know of one.

Of the books from Bury St Edmunds I have treated at
length in another place. The other abbeys of eastern England
whose libraries are represented at Corpus Christi are Ely, from
which came three volumes, Anglesey, which gives one, Cog-
geshall (four), Crowland (perhaps one), Leiston in Suffolk (two),
Peterborough (two), Thetford (one), and Thorney (one, doubt-
ful). St Albans yields five volumes only, and I am surprised
that the number is so small. It has not yet appeared what
became of the bulk of their books. Their library must have
been very large and important, but no catalogue of it survives
(Bishop Bale possessed one, but where it is no one knows), and
no collection that I have examined contains more than a few
volumes from this great abbey. The Peterborough library,
of which we have a catalogue, is in even worse case.

Another striking feature in Parker's collection is the rarity
of books from the northern abbeys. One volume from Hexham,
one from Jervaulx, one from Rievaulx, and one from Salley are
all that I can find at present.

The non- monastic or private owners of the MSS. deserve
more attention than I can give them here. One book seems
to have belonged to Duke Humphrey : I have not identified
it among his gifts to Oxford. Another great collector, re-
presented here by one volume — was John Gunthorp, Dean of
Wells, who died in 1498. He was one of the early humanists
in England, had lived long in Italy, and got together a number
of books there. Among them was a large portion of the library
of John Free, an English scholar, who used, though wrongly,
to be credited with having translated Diodorus Siculus into
Latin. The bulk of Gunthorp's library was given to Jesus
College, but only one or two of his books are to be found
there now, and they are not of Italian origin, nor very in-
teresting. Trinity, St John's and the University Library have
all of them volumes once the property of Gunthorp. And his
is a name to be much observed when one is engaged in hunting

14 CORPUS CHRISTI MSS.

through a collection of MSS., for there is no doubt that the
owner of it was an interesting man.

I do not see that any very important general conclusions
can be drawn from this investigation of the Corpus Christi
MSS. We see that Archbishop Parker did not employ any
cut-and-dried plan in forming his collection. As Archbishop
he was connected with Canterbury, and from Canterbury he
obtained more MSS. than from any other single place. For the
rest, he picked up books where he could : and my list shews
that almost all of them came from the southern half of
England.

I will add, in conclusion, that I can confidently recommend
this branch of research to anyone who is prepared to be inter-
ested in ancient books; and I should like to accompany my
recommendation with the injunction,

Always note the opening words of Hie second leaf1.

DOCUMENTS REFERRED TO IN THE FOLLOWING

LIST.

Defectus Librorum, 1508, or Ingram. This is a list of books
at Christ Church, Canterbury, which were repaired in 1508.
It was made by William Ingram, who was " custos martirii "
in 1508 and penitentiary in 1511. It is contained in MS. C. 11
in the Library of the Dean and Chapter of Canterbury, and
has been transcribed from the MS. by Mr J. W. Clark, who

belonged to Abp Theodore in cent, vii, that it came from St
Aug. Cant, and that he got it from a baker. At end are
medallions of Homer and Athene.

Parker's note is as follows :

Hie liber Theodori repertus in monasterio diui Augustini

chartas illius cenobii, quern cumulum chartarum scrutatus
quidam pistor quondam eiusdem cenobii invenit et domum
